I work for the House of Representatives and all we run is MS Office products, Exchange email servers, and NT Servers. It bites. My f'ing computer (running NT workstation 4 SP3) crashes so hard at least 3 times a day that I have to cut the power. I can't wait until I can install Linux on that puppy and vmware NT.
I would rather everybody was standardizing on Netscape than MS. At least my boss hates MS too...
Would you prefer to elect a technophobe who just keeps his mouth shut about it?
Yes I would...as long as he butts out too. The government needs to just leave the internet alone, and if Al Gore could censor and control it, he would.
Wrong-o...the republicans really are for lesser government. I work for the federal government, and if you knew about all the cutbacks and positions the republicans got rid of a few years ago, your opinion would change. I'm a republican...but I like libertarians too. If Jesse Ventura ran for Pres, I'd vote for him.:)
I wanna know how Luke was able to switch his lightsaber into "baseball bat mode" (as my friends and I call it) in RoTJ. He looked like Mark McGwire when he was hitting all those guys into sarlac on Tatooine;)
Spoken like a true Microserf. I guess you've never even compiled a Linux kernel. You have the option to compile drivers directly into the kernel or make them modules. VERY handy. NT can't do that...and you can't make a lightweight, bare-bones kernel with NT either. Anybody who bitches about command-line options should NOT be a system admin. At least in Linux I don't have to worry about my video card driver causing a GPF and taking down my whole system.
Hey LameMaster...err FlameMaster, there's a difference between worship and respect. I don't see any "Linus-worshipping" going on. The man did a lot, more than you, that's for sure, and he deserves respect for it.
Just because you feel the Bible is offensive, and you think that nobody reads the Declaration of Independence, doesn't mean they should be censored. They're both very important parts of America's history, and should be able to be read by anyone.
Unfortunately, there is no way QT would go GPL. That is how Troll Tech makes their money. There's no doubt in my mind that using a commercial toolkit helped speed up the KDE development. QT is very nice, I enjoy programming with it. However, as a user, I prefer GTK. I'm planning on learning it once I get some free time. Now that GNOME is past the 1.0 mark, things should speed up rapidly. What took so long was they didn't use a nice stable commercial toolkit from the beginning...they built their own. (which, if you ask me, is better in the long run)
The earliest I could get to start writing it is 6 months from now, if I'm lucky. I've already got to finish another GPL'd app I'm writing, I have a lot of studying to do, and I want to write a book. That and trying to juggle a woman, eats up a lot of my time.
...that they'll interoperate. I like GNOME's panel, but if I run a KDE mini-app, I want it to show up in GNOME's panel. (and vice versa) Once that happens, I'll be a very happy man.
Umm, the releasing of the code proves nothing. Read the license. The GPL or a BSD license would have been much better. This is a publicity stunt, exactly like Microsoft would pull. MS even stated they plan to start releasing source. Apple and MS are both cut from the same mold.
And the playstation is a low resolution blur. I prefer cartridges with their zero load time anyway. That's why I got a console. If I wanted to get a CDROM game, I get it for the PC (and I do).
GNOME 1.0 is fast, useful and pretty....It was good enough to make me drop KDE (and I'm very picky about my desktop...that's why I chose KDE in the first place).
Gnome is a monster of badly integrated apps

GNOME rocks. you're just jealous because it looks better than KDE.

There may be a place, but it won't be on any of my systems. :)

Such as the standard way of giving your money to a company for buggy software? Oh I see....
Yeah, tune it. fdisk works wonders.

surely not GNOMEs...but maybe nerdy billionaries who live in Washington state. ;)
shows how little you know about Carmack, oh brainless one. He's a UNIX fan.

Yes, Carmack said they would. They do it for Quake 2 right now, why wouldn't they for Q3A?
DirectX is 2D API, Direct3D is the 3D API.

I just wish GTK and QT would use the same themes...I want my QT apps to fit in with my pretty GTK apps ;)
Don't spread FUD. GNOME is quite useable. KDE is more mature.
X may be bloated, but Linux is not X. If you use a lightweight window manager it's not that bad at all.
